Speaking of film (heh heh) I took Jeremy to a photo workshop a while back. He didn't have the DSLR yet, so I lent him my D40 while I used the N90s. I shot a closeup of some flowers *we were in a garden) and one woman came running over to me; "Leemeseelemesee!" (yes, one word). I smiled, turned the camera over so she could look at the back of the film door. Her mouth dropped open and she stared at it for a good 45 seconds. Then she gave me the strangest look I think I've ever seen. "It's film," I explained. The poor woman looked so confused.

I get the opposite when I walk around with my XP1 or X100S. People ask how old is my camera and if I develop the film.

Here's a picture I got of one of my admin job bosses because he didn't think my Lubitel was a real camera:


It's blurry but I don't care

When I told him it really was a camera, he asked to see the back. Needless to say, he couldn't see the photo in the little red counter window

you're lucky she didn't pull the film out and try to look at it.

I don't think that was a risk. I honestly don't think she knew what a film camera was.

One of my students apparently is trying to sell some new brand of instant coffee. She gave me a sample and I mentioned something about how I develop film with instant coffee. She was like, "Film? What do you mean?"

We got interrupted, but I'm not sure what confused her - the film itself or developing it with instant coffee. I have a feeling it might have been the film, though. I started saying something about cameras and mimicking taking a picture, but she still looked befuddled.

And it wasn't her English.

Sanka?

Quick snapshot. Zoe loves to lay on my neoprene laptop sleeve. This is my view as I sit at my desk -- shhhhh, she's sleeping.

Sanka?

Thankfully, no, it wasn't Sanka

But oddly enough, the cheaper the instant coffee, the better it is as a developer.

I wonder if Kopi Luwak comes in instant form?

Zoe is my girl. When we first got her, I wasn't working so in between home chores I would pick her up and rock her, throw her toys for her, etc. Obviously she is spoiled rotten, now.

Thank you. She's a rescue. Maryland State Kitty is the Calico.

I just got my desk cleared off so I can actually use it, instead of the dining room table. When I sit in there, she typically lays at one of two places: the patio door looking out, or right beside my chair. I guess she'll move to the bedroom and my desk, now.
